Darvish won't leave mid-season...when the Rangers are still in the playoff hunt. Baseball 101.
The chances of resigning Darvish are low. The Rangers have already been turned off by his Strasburg like contract demands. They don't want to pay it. I don't know if they even have the cap room. What we get in a trade would likely trump the draft compensation we would receive for losing him at the end of the year. We talked all year about keeping him, I know pretty much everyone on this board was hoping that the Rangers were secretly making progress on an extension behind the scenes and now that we know that is definitely not the case, we need to get what we can for a player that seems to be all but gone next year.
